87 A Top Ten Anime Betrayal (1/2)

To be fair, Han Chu was not purposely making things difficult for Ye Shuang. One's looks were completely up to luck, but if one was overly handsome, that good fortune might turn into bad luck. To put it another way, if he was so handsome, why wasn't he in the entertainment business? That line of work would suit him more!

Ye Shuang was still in shock as Han Chu on the other end of the phone continued. ”…That man's looks… I'm afraid the female clients that I assign him to won't be able to control themselves. If he was just handsome, it would have been fine, but a few months before this, he shot an advertisement. I've received the internal DM from Fang Mo's company, the one that hasn't been released to be public yet. In less than a minute, my big sister became a fan. Now her room even has his human-size poster.

”Tell me, how I am supposed to take on someone like that? After the advertisement is released, he will become an overnight sensation. If I take him on, I will only be able to get entertainment-related cases for him.”

Han Chu's voice was calm, but underneath that calmness was a heavy trace of complaint and depression. ”Even if the clients are somehow not all nymphos, daily interactions in long term cases might lead to the blossoming of a relationship or one-sided adoration. Short term cases are mostly about competition, and special cases… even if I can get those, is he qualified to accept them?”

After hearing what Han Chu had to say, Ye Shuang was feeling awkward as well. Initially, she had thought it was something serious, but in reality, it was a face problem.

At least she confirmed that Han Chu did not harbor any malice toward her. Brother Shuang's capability was approved, but the useable range was too small, and extended usage might lead to special events that could be too scary for him to handle. Taking on Sister Shuang to give face to Fang Mo was acceptable, but taking on Brother Shuang was finding trouble for himself.

Yao Zhixing held his stomach to stop himself from bursting in laughter. After he managed to calm himself, he turned his head to ask the woman next to him audibly, ”Ye Shuang, what do you think?”

Ye Shuang laughed drily.

Han Chu's grip on the phone tightened. Yao Zhixing, you f*cking betrayer!

Yao Zhixing enjoyed the situation with interest. Even though he could not see Han Chu's face, he could imagine it would not be prettier than how Ye Shuang's awkward face was looking then.

After a moment's silence, Han Chu's voice continued, accompanied by a chilling scoff. ”That sounds like Miss Ye Shuang beside you. Haha… I should have known a virgin like you would have zero defense before a beautiful woman…”

”F*ck!” Yao Zhixing was angered immediately. He was about to raise the phone to his mouth to start cursing when Ye Shuang pulled his phone away from him.

”Hello, Brother Han. Actually, Brother Fang's recommendation was the other Ye Shuang; I am the supplementary one. Furthermore, being handsome has its own advantages, right?”

”Sigh, it's just more troubles.” Since he had been exposed, Han Chu did not mind sharing his difficulty with her. ”To be honest, it would be fine if the other Ye Shuang is placed on an international platform, but San Lin City is just too small; the types of cases that can be taken here are limited. In fact, there are none that are suitable for him.”

Putting fine timber to petty use was sometimes more than a waste; the most crucial issue lay in suitability. If one assigned a professional car racer to go teach driving classes, both the talent and the client would feel a certain way. That was what Han Chu was concerned about.

It was another issue if Brother Shuang was not famous, but after the advertisement was released to the public, he might be identified on his cases, so how could Han Chu possibly take him on?

While Han Chu could put a little bit more effort to accommodate Ye Shuang, his job encapsulated the whole nation and not just one San Lin City, why would he waste so much effort just to please this one worker?

Ye Shuang was speechless. Yao Zhixing felt like helping Ye Shuang, so he pulled the phone back to say, ”If outside work won't do, then just let him do inside work. Don't think I don't know you also have regional agents working for you.”

Han Chu gritted his teeth. ”Agents have to not only look after the talents but also assign cases, and on top of that, they have to be ready to mediate all kinds of sudden situations. They'll need to know people from government departments to the street gangs… do you think everyone can do the job‽”

”I helped you do the same job for about half a year before,” Yao Zhixing retorted, ”how come I didn't hear you tell me these limitations then‽”

Han Chu sighed silently; he was too lazy to reason with this man.

Was Yao Zhixing a normal person‽ The man came from an honorable family but had his own way of living his life. The upper society would give him face due to the Yao family, and the darker side of the society naturally knew of Brother Yao's name. Therefore, Yao Zhixing was practically the perfect candidate to be San Lin City's regional agent. However, if someone else wanted to take over his post, that individual had to have experience, brains, and brawn.

In the large country of China, Han Chu had only managed to cultivate three regional agents, which meant that each one of them had to handle 7.5 districts on average. Even a special character like Yao Zhixing could only take on the responsibility for a small city like San Lin City; this went to show how high the demands on a regional agent were.

Or else, why would Han Chu need to fly all over the country day in and day out?

”Is being a regional agent that difficult?” Ye Shuang asked humbly.

Yao Zhixing shrugged and said, ”It's not as hard as Xiao Han made it out to be. After Xiao Han accepts the case, if the client is within the region you're responsible for, they will send the case details to you. Or if you've made a name for yourself, some clients will come to you on their own.
